*snort* It was 47º F Sunday afternoon, and I almost was willing to go outside without a jacket or even sweatshirt, just my normal polo. *Almost.*

It's telling, though, that in my fourth winter here, I now consider a 47º day a "nice and warm, perfect (for her) to take the dawg for a walk" day. When I lived in Florida, 47º was cold enough to consider canceling tennis practice, though not a match... Had you told me then that I'd consider it a lovely day, I'd have told you you were bugnutz.

And yeah... *today's* high is predicted for 33º. Never let it be said that the northern Great Plains have consistent weather.

There's someone (who no longer works with me) who picked on me for over a year. She's a mean, miserable person who tends to pick on anyone happier than herself.

When she came in two weeks ago to pick up her W2, she asked how I was and what was new (looking for dirt to spread rumors). I told her life was good - the store is going through a facelift, both of The Men™ are still in my life, and I was about to buy my house.

Apparently she assumed I was lying or something, because a mutual acquaintance ran into her a few days ago and confirmed that I bought my house.

Her response to the news is destined to become legend.

(It feels so very very very uncharitable and mean spirited to enjoy another persons frustration at my success, but damn it feels good to come out ahead for once.)

You deserve to have all of those wins.

Seems snark makes me happy today!

When I saw that thread title, I mentally said, "Oh, damn, not again," and intended to at least suggest the poster do a search for punishment and/or discipline to find previous threads on the topic. However, when I read the actual post, I figuratively threw up my hands and made the suggestion I did. I'm glad I could give you a smile.

If you come to New Zealand, please do not leave your cash in a bag on your dashboard with the windows open while you get out of your Campervan to take pictures. It will be stolen - most likely by a bird.

Malala Yousufzai, the Pakistani girl who rose to international fame after the Taliban nearly killed her for her efforts to promote girls’ education, has been formally nominated for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.

Of course, there were 231 Peace Prize nominees last year, but still... it ought to look good on a college entrance application.
